Chapter 138: Gu Yue Na: “croak! It’s The Destruction Divine Seat!”
Far away at Enthusiasm Headquarters, Huo Yuhao suddenly felt a chill on his back, as if someone was thinking about him.
He pondered for a moment and said:
“It must be that naturally evil little brat Tang San thinking about me!”
“Tok, tok, tok”
He didn’t know that this time, his employee whom he hadn’t met yet already had ideas of surpassing him.
Of course, even if he knew, he would just smile. As long as Gu Yue Na didn’t use force to seize it, it was impossible for her to win against him, the one who made the rules, within the rules.
Just Adam alone was enough to give Gu Yue Na a hard time.
And the fact that the other party hadn’t made a move yet showed that they didn’t want to expose their identity in front of the God Realm, after all, the Silver Dragon King’s aura was still very obvious.
The view returned to the training ground. As Feng Jin activated her Martial Soul, two Soul Rings appeared beside her, and emerald green Healing Light scattered over everyone on the open ground.
Xiao Hongchen, who had been knocked out by the jeep on the ground, had his injuries gradually recovering, his breathing becoming steady, his eyelids twitching slightly, then slowly opening his eyes.
He pushed off the ground with both hands, grimacing as he stood up.
Gu Yue Na next to Xia Die reached out and touched the emerald green Healing Light, feeling the gentle Life Force within it.
“Can it compare to the Emerald Swan in terms of healing?”
“No wonder the Wind Attribute is a bit weaker; the talent is dispersed.”
“However, it’s still an extremely terrifying Martial Soul. Both attack and healing are top-tier, worthy of being a direct descendant of the Wind Dragon King bloodline.”
No one knew what Gu Yue Na was thinking. Everyone was now looking at Xiao Hongchen, who was surrounded in the center.
Mademos crossed his arms and said coldly:
“Idiot, I told you to temporarily avoid the sharp edge, but you didn’t.”
Xiao Hongchen was just about to trash-talk Mademos when Meng Hongchen interrupted him from the side. She expressionlessly patted Xiao Hongchen’s back, nearly making him faint again.
“Alright, Xiao, come sit with me on the side.”
“Don’t embarrass yourself anymore.”
Meng Hongchen pulled Xiao Hongchen to sit under the dense shade of a large tree beside the training ground, while Feng Jin brought Gu Yue Na and the others to sit next to them.
Because next was Roman’s specialized training for Bai E, among these people, Bai E had the deepest hidden power and was the hardest to awaken.
Meng Hongchen thought for a moment, then took out six cups of iced milk tea from her Storage Soul Tool and handed them to Feng Jin and the others one by one.
Xiao Hongchen sneered upon seeing this and said:
“Drinking this is not as good as drinking Cola.”
After saying that, the kid was just about to reach for a cup when he realized it was gone. Meng Hongchen hadn’t prepared a share for him at all.
Xiao Hongchen widened his eyes and looked at his sister, saying:
“?”
“Where’s mine?”
Meng Hongchen rolled her eyes at him and said:
“No share for you. If you’re thirsty, go back to Xilu City and buy Cola yourself.”
Xiao Hongchen got angry and said incredulously:
“No way?”
“This place is dozens of kilometers from Xilu City. How can your 37-degree mouth say such cold words?!”
“You’re my own sister! Blood is thicker than water!”
Meng Hongchen made a face at him. When it came to pitting her own brother, she felt no guilt at all.
“Nyah nyah nyah.”
Mademos on the side directly tossed his iced milk tea to Xiao Hongchen and said:
“Drink it.”
Xiao Hongchen was stunned for a moment, shrugged, took out a cup from his Storage Soul Tool, poured half a cup, and returned the rest to Mademos, saying:
“Thanks.”
“Half a cup each.”
After Mademos took back the milk tea, he drank it directly. He had consumed a lot of physical strength, and high-sugar milk tea was an excellent drink for any Soul Master.
Milk tea, Cola, and burgers had already been called the three major items for new-era Soul Masters in the Soul Master world.
Many Soul Master Academy cafeterias had introduced these high-calorie foods, which were not only easy to make and cheap enough, but also replenished a large amount of energy for students after training.
Even Shrek Academy had opened the most authentic Kenlaishi in the Shrek Cafeteria, becoming a blessing for many students.
Because of Huo Sui’er and Xuan Zi, the Kenlaishi in the Shrek Cafeteria had tables and chairs.
Every day after class, students competed fiercely just to quickly reach the cafeteria and grab those rare seats.
Being able to sit and eat in the cafeteria had become a symbol of a Shrek student’s strength.
Only the strong deserve to sit in chairs to eat; the rest of the weak can only stand.
Shrek Academy’s higher-ups saw this situation and thought it was pretty good, believing it could stimulate students’ motivation to improve.
Just like that, the group of seven sat under the tree shade, drinking iced milk tea while watching Bai E warm up to prepare for Roman’s training.
Meng Hongchen slightly released her Ice Attribute Soul Power to create an “air-conditioned room”.
The people around felt a burst of coolness, and Feng Jin said delightedly:
“Ice Attribute Soul Power is so convenient!”
“Thanks, Meng Bao!”
Then, Meng Hongchen pulled Feng Jin and Xia Die to whisper about the new commercial street recently opened in Xilu City.
Perhaps they would be opponents in the future Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, but now they were friends who could chat and laugh together.
Even Xiao Hongchen was somewhat enjoying this leisurely time, without having to risk his life making Soul Tools at Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy every day, crazily taking drugs and then studying various tactics to deal with Shrek Academy in the future.
Now, after being brutally beaten sixteen times in a row by Mademos, he had somewhat seen through it.
People sometimes need a good beating, just like rice cakes become sweeter and softer the more they’re pounded.
After returning to Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy this time, Xiao Hongchen decided not to keep taking drugs, as it was meaningless.
No matter how high the level, if the strength is superficial, one would just get beaten across levels by Soul Masters like Mademos.
Anyway, he had already lost so many times now; it didn’t matter.
The title of Sun Moon’s number one genius had pretty much been lost, and he had no face to continue calling himself the first genius now.
During this time in Xilu City, Xiao Hongchen felt the biggest gain was getting to know Mademos and the others.
They let Xiao Hongchen know what true monsters were!
Gu Yue Na looked at the milk tea in her hand, tilted her head, mimicked the others by sipping through the straw, and her eyes lit up slightly.
This was better than the water from Lake of Life! It just didn’t have any special effects.
With nothing to do, Gu Yue Na drank her milk tea while watching Roman and Bai E, who were already prepared ahead.
“Bai E, are you ready?”
Bai E summoned his Martial Soul, and the Dawn Greatsword appeared in his hand, with Extreme Light Soul Power swirling around his body.
“Yeah! Doctor Roman!”
“Come at me with all you’ve got!”
Seeing this, Gu Yue Na took another small sip of milk tea and nodded her little head lightly.
“Not bad, Extreme Light.”
“It’s a pity there’s no Light Dragon King bloodline in his body, otherwise he could find a relative for Di Tian.”
“A bit regrettable.”
After seeing Bai E ready, blue runes appeared on Roman’s arm, and the ground immediately began to tremble.
A large number of soil skeleton soldiers appeared on the field, surrounding Bai E completely, then letting out roars in unison and charging straight at him.
Bai E didn’t retreat upon seeing this. The blue-white blade of the Dawn Greatsword flickered with golden light, and he charged toward the skeleton soldiers in one direction.
As Bai E swung, the sword edge of the Dawn Greatsword cut through the air, leaving a golden trajectory, slicing through the skeleton soldiers like a hot knife through butter without any hindrance.
However, because there were simply too many skeleton soldiers, Bai E had to shift positions to dodge their attacks.
Bai E’s steps were extremely swift and filled with a unique beauty. That was the Ghost Shadow Perplexing Steps that Huo Yuhao had once obtained from Bei Bei, then had Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm rewrite and perfect it through computing power.
Then had Roman teach it to Bai E and the others.
Relying on his movement technique, the Dawn Greatsword freely harvested the surrounding skeleton soldiers. Bai E made no unnecessary movements; every swing had a purpose.
After all, Bai E and Mademos had sparred for so long, and both their skills had improved significantly.
Roman watched from the side of the field as Bai E went on a rampage among the skeleton soldiers, couldn’t help but sigh that the other’s progress was indeed very fast.
During the first training, the other had been brutally beaten by the skeleton soldiers and directly thrown out of the training ground.
Now he could dance unscathed among the skeleton soldiers.
“Too bad I can’t afford Dragon Tooth.”
“Can’t try making Dragon Tooth soldiers, have to substitute with soil.”
Roman shook his head regretfully. At first, he wanted to use Dragon Tooth to make Dragon Tooth soldiers, but upon seeing the price of one Dragon Tooth, he backed off.
One Dragon Tooth, even from an earth dragon, cost several hundred Gold Soul Coins—enough for Roman to eat strawberry cake for a lifetime!
Roman glanced at the other materials again, then realized that besides soil, he had nothing else usable.
Thus, the soil skeleton soldiers were born. No wonder Roman was formerly the Magic King—these skeleton soldiers were much weaker than Dragon Tooth soldiers, but they were free and came in unlimited quantities!
Since the soil skeleton soldiers could no longer trouble Bai E, Roman decided to increase the difficulty for him.
He carefully took out a white Soul Bone from his Storage Soul Tool.
This was a local specialty from the Extreme North that Huo Yuhao had brought Roman recently—a ten-thousand-year Titan Snow Demon Left Arm Bone.
He casually gave it to Roman as research material.
The runes on Roman’s hand came alive and slowly attached to the Soul Bone, then Roman began chanting.
Actually, Alchemy didn’t require chanting, but Roman was used to it, so he added chanting elements to the process.
The white Soul Bone immediately began to shine, and biting cold winds swept across the entire field, though it didn’t spread to Feng Jin and the others’ side.
A thin layer of frost formed on the originally dry soil, with ice-blue chill spreading toward Bai E.
After slicing through a skeleton soldier, Bai E’s danger perception went crazy warning him. Without hesitation, he poured all his Extreme Light Soul Power into the Dawn Greatsword, making the entire sword glow like a small sun.
He swung forcefully at the ground. The sword qi formed by Extreme Light tore through the earth, and the dazzling sun collided with the extreme light, heat, and chill, instantly filling the entire field with water mist.
Xiao Hongchen and the others nearby were captivated by the battle, staring intently at the open ground ahead, waiting for the mist to dissipate.
As the continent’s strongest, Gu Yue Na had little experience but still had some insight due to her strength.
“I see, imitating the sun.”
“His attribute is strictly speaking Extreme Light Fire.”
“A bit like that little guy from the Imperial Beast.”
“However, what is that?”
“Can Soul Bones be used like that?”
As the water mist dissipated, all the skeleton soldiers on the field turned back to soil, while Bai E looked solemnly at the opposite side, his hand tightly gripping the hilt of Dawn.
An ice-blue eerie figure appeared in front of Bai E. The figure was covered in ferocious bone spikes condensed from ice, with eyes made of deep blue gems.
The figure was about the same height as Bai E. It twisted its stiff neck, emitting a teeth-gritting sound.
Roman stood behind the figure, the Soul Bone in his hand already gone. The figure before him was the familiar constructed by Roman using the Soul Bone as the main material.
Xiao Hongchen and the others were dumbfounded. They sensed that the ice-blue figure emitted a powerful aura! And they had never seen such a bizarre Soul Skill.
Gu Yue Na had seen the entire process clearly and was shocked that humans could create new life through Soul Bones.
Feng Jin and Xia Die knew that was Doctor Roman’s Alchemy.
The ice-blue figure pointed a finger at Bai E, then instantly turned into ice mist and vanished from the field.
Bai E’s blue eyes narrowed, vigilantly scanning the surroundings, his whole body tense.
Soon, the ice mist appeared behind Bai E, and an ice-blue arm extended from it, its Arm Blade made of hard ice slashing toward his head.
Bai E dodged immediately. The Arm Blade cut off a few strands of white hair; he barely avoided the strike.
Then, in mid-air, he twisted his body in a pose that would make Newton cry and completed a turn. Borrowing the force of the twist, Dawn’s blade slashed toward the neck of the figure that had revealed its body.
Just as the blade was about to touch the neck, the figure turned into ice mist again and disappeared into the air.
Bai E lost his target once more, his heart racing. Then he felt the ground shake, and an Ice Spear burst from the ground, heading straight for his chest.
“Can’t dodge!”
Gritting his teeth, his battle instinct honed from frequent spars with Mademos judged the optimal solution. The Dawn Greatsword shone with sunlight-like radiance again, the high temperature causing airflow that shifted both him and the Ice Spear sideways.
The Ice Spear, originally aimed at his chest, pierced Bai E’s calf, penetrating it directly.
Ice crystals formed at the wound, stopping the bleeding.
Such an injury wasn’t serious for a Soul Master, especially with Feng Jin and Roman nearby.
Xiao Hongchen couldn’t help but say:
“That’s too unfair!”
“How do you fight something like this?!”
“High attack, has control, has instant movement.”
“This isn’t an enemy a Great Soul Master should face at all!”
Xiao Hongchen’s voice didn’t reach the field. Bai E seized the moment the opponent appeared and swung Dawn fiercely. The golden greatsword carried light and heat attacking the ice-blue figure below.
The ice-blue figure turned into ice mist and retreated explosively. Seeing this, Bai E rapidly pursued using his movement technique.
“Want to run?!”
On the field, a golden light tenaciously chased the blue ice mist, clashing fiercely in various places.
The greatsword and Arm Blade emitted crisp, pleasant collision sounds.
Although Bai E had pushed his movement to the limit, his declining stamina still slowed his actions by a beat.
The ice-blue figure seized the opportunity and kicked toward Bai E’s chest, sending him flying backward and smashing heavily into the ground.
The figure took the chance, its hands turning into Ice Blades, stabbing toward Bai E’s chest again.
Gu Yue Na’s purple eyes flickered as she realized Bai E had no ability to resist anymore.
“He’s already a flickering candle in the wind.”
“The victor has been decided.”
The phrase “flickering candle in the wind” was always the most taboo in cards and battles.
It was basically on the same level as “smoke but no damage” as an ironclad rule.
Under this pressure, he ignited the Destruction Seed again!
Soon, Bai E’s deep blue eyes turned golden and holy, with blood like molten gold flowing under his skin.
His originally white hair faintly glowed golden.
Mademos said seriously:
“Here it comes.”
Xiao Hongchen was confused. Though he didn’t know what was happening, he knew Bai E seemed to have entered phase two.
The purple thunderbolt rune on Bai E’s forehead began to flash, Destruction aura filling the entire training ground. The Dawn Greatsword trembled slightly, faintly showing signs of changing form.
Roman controlled the familiar to retreat, sportsmanlike giving Bai E time to burst.
Gu Yue Na nearly crushed the milk tea cup in her hand, her purple eyes trembling with disbelief.
“?”
“Divine Power aura?”
“Wait, Destruction Divine Seat?!”
“This person called Bai E is a candidate for the Destruction God King’s divine trial?”
“And not an ordinary divine trial candidate—he has the aura of a Divine Artifact on him!”
Gu Yue Na was starting to doubt life. She had been out for less than half a month, and this was the first human city she arrived at.
Yet here she successively saw direct descendants of Space Dragon King bloodline and Wind Dragon King bloodline, and Bai E, whom she thought was nothing special, turned out to be the Destruction God King’s inheritor!
Simply absurd—absurdity’s mother opened the door for absurdity, and absurdity arrived home.
Gu Yue Na turned her head mechanically and looked at her newly befriended good sister Xia Die.
With Ti Bao, Feng Jin, Bai E, and others ahead, she felt this somewhat dazed indifferent girl might not be simple either.
She was very, even ninety percent, certain that Xia Die could hang out with them because she must have some special talent!
Could she also have some Dragon King bloodline?
Xia Die felt Gu Yue Na’s gaze and looked at her doubtfully, a bit at a loss.
“Your Excellency Gu Yue Na, what’s wrong?”
After carefully observing her new little companion for a while, Xia Die felt a bit shy. Gu Yue Na finally withdrew her gaze and continued watching the performance of the Destruction God King inheritor.
In her view, no matter what special abilities Xia Die had, there would be a chance for her to show them in the future. The current priority was to carefully observe this guy called Bai E.
